Recasting Madagascar: Village Structures, Racial Anthropology, and the Meanings of Cliff Markings.This book is a vivid history of Madagascar from the pre-colonial era to decolonization, examining a set of French colonial projects and perceptions that revolve around issues of power, vulnerability, health, conflict, control and identity. It focuses on three lines of inquiry: the relationship between domination and health fears, the island’s role during the two world wars, and the mystery of Malagasy origins. The Madagascar that emerges is plural and fractured. It is the site of colonial dystopias, grand schemes gone awry, and diverse indigenous reactions. Bringing together deep archival research and recent scholarship, Jennings sheds light on the colonial project in Madagascar, and more broadly, on the ideas which underpin colonialism.Palgrave Series in Indian Ocean World Studies,2730-9703EPUBFrance—HistoryAfrica—HistoryCivilization—HistoryHistory, ModernImperialismHistory of Francehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717040African Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000Modern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000MadagascarHistory1885-1960FranceColoniesAfricaHistoryAfricafastMadagascarfastHistory.fastFrance—History.Africa—History.Civilization—History.History, Modern.Imperialism.History of France.African History.Cultural History.Modern History.Imperialism and Colonialism.944Jennings Eric Tauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut898633BOOK9910255258703321Perspectives on French Colonial Madagascar2007694UNINA
